The sound of Disco rose out of Philadelphia in the '70's before being nurtured in New York and later rising to the top of the pops. By 1979 it made its way to India, where it was blended with sitars, tablas and huge orchestras in a wildly inventive, and often boldly surreal, fusion of Purab aur Pachhim (East and West). When a film producer told Bollywood composer Bappi Lahiri, "I want to have music like 'Saturday Night Fever'", Bombay Disco was born. Soon nearly every South Asian film, it seemed, had a disco track blaring from cinema screens. Cultures Of Soul Records presents Bombay Disco, 13 selections excavated from the dusty bazaars of India by DJ Brother Cleve. The hunt even brought him to Bappi Lahiri's home, where India's "Disco King" regaled him with music and stories. Bombay Disco showcases the unique musical hybrid that is Bollywood filmi music.

The time period chronicled here is between 1979 and 1985 . While the space disco groove that is "Udi Baba" is her finest moment on the set, her duet with Lahiri on "Bugi Bugi" is also a clear standout.

Brother Cleve's Bombay Disco Mixby Cultures Of Soul. The mix is prepared by Brother Cleve who selected the tracks for this compilation.

Disco songs continued to flourish after its early 80s ubiquity, often in the more tawdry films such as the horror movies that were immensely popular as the decade wore on. As the 90s continued, the cabaret sequences began to bear a closer resemblance to MTV videos. The music in these scenes changed to a similar style while the perennial love songs continued to entrance listeners. Welcome to our second celebration of the sounds of Bombay Disco, which digs deeper into the recordwallah shops in the bazaars of India. As fans of our first collection will recall, disco arrived in India in 1979, shortly after its mainstream popularity had peaked in the West. Disco songs remained in vogue throughout the subcontinent for a dozen years, in many ways because of the "cabaret scene" or "item number," a mainstay in South Asian cinema that dates back to the 1920s.

The song by that name, a preposterously catchy mashup of girlish chanting, early video-game sound effects, dubby horns and guitars, and a relentless four-on-the-floor accompanied a surreal 1982 Bollywood clip of a woman being shot from a golden gun. The phrase, Cleve writes in the album’s liner notes, has an alternate meaning: Oh my gosh! . According to Boston’s Brother Cleve, the kitsch and cocktail connoisseur who collected the music on this rapturously weird compilation, Udi Baba translates roughly as to make someone fly.
